Chapter 700: Fighting the Huns (4)

Meng Tian opened the rectangular wooden box, inside was a round wax ball and a roll of white silk that I didn't know what was drawn, if I wanted to know the content of the letter, I had to pull open the wax ball, but the white silk could be directly pulled out and spread out.

The white silk is obviously a topographical map, on which some of the army's attack arrows are outlined with a red pen. At the bottom of the white silk, what kind of sign represents which army made the mark.

"Huh?" Meng Tian motioned for Zhang Han to lean over and spread the white silk with his hand: "This map is the topographic map of the Qilu side to the south of Yanmen and Yinshan, and the arrows of these armies above point to ......."

If he had a choice, Zhang Han really didn't want to go over, the current Qin State was too complicated.

The situation of the Qin State is terrible, and the situation that Fusu has to face is even worse, as the Han State shows more and more powerful sides, and more and more Qin people have defected to the Han State recently, and only the Montessori has to show that they will not give up. However, many things are not decided by Meng Tian, he is the patriarch of the Mengshi clan, and he is also the leader of the Mengshi family, many things cannot be emotional, we must consider the future of the Mengshi, and we must also find a way out for those who follow the Mengshi.

Why does Zhang Han want to avoid suspicion? Meng Tian knew that some news had been revealed, otherwise Zhang Han would not have this kind of expression, but he couldn't explain anything, so he could only turn a blind eye and smile bitterly in his heart.

The wooden box sent by Lu Zhe was indeed a topographic map, on which the offensive routes of the Han army, the Zhao army, and the Qin army were drawn very clearly, and which army was commanded by whom and what kind of army was also clearly written.

"The Central Plains Army, the Zhao Army, and the Han Army......" Once Zhang Han's mind focused on thinking about the war, he didn't think much about the rest. His hand was already pointing to the march route of some different colors of white silk: "Here is Wang Ben and Sima Ang, their goal is the Saiwai grassland; Here are Xu Yang and Ji Bu, their target is Taiyuan County, and the final direction of advance is the enemy army directly opposite us; How is it that this army has so many dotted lines...... Oh, and the dotted line is the route that may change in the plan. ”

Wang Ben had nearly 80,000 troops in his hands, and the Zhao army led by Sima Ang had 50,000. They will also have the First Cavalry Regiment of the Han Army to meet them along the way, with a total strength of 180,000.

The 70,000 troops in Xuyang are from the Central Plains Army, and Ji Bu will lead the second and fourth mixed regiments to rendezvous, and the total strength of this road will reach 170,000.

The road marked with dotted lines on the white silk is led by Lu Zhe, with a strength of 100,000 forbidden troops and the Fifth Cavalry Corps, with a total strength of 150,000.

The two looked at the white silk for a while, and finally Meng Tian pulled the wax pill open, and a rolled up note appeared.

What's on the note? It was to introduce the battle situation in the land of Qilu to Meng Tian, saying that the content on the white silk needed to wait for Linzi to be captured, and the Han army also needed time to sweep away Qi Yan's disobedient people. It will take tomorrow spring at the earliest to launch a military operation like the route on the white silk.

Meng Tian and Zhang Han looked at each other for a while after reading it, they couldn't understand what Lu Zhe was doing with letting people send these things over now.

The voice of the co-captain sounded outside the tent......

"General Meng," the lieutenant also had something in his hand when he came in, and the expression on his face was filled with joy that Meng Tian and Zhang Han didn't understand. Gongwei raised the things in his hand: "My king has conquered Linzi, and the land of Qilu and Yan have been under my king's rule!" ”

"......" Meng Tian and Zhang Han glanced at each other, didn't they see such news?

Li Liang, who came in later, explained with a smile: "There are many waves of Hongling Urgent Envoys, and the content of the letters carried by each Hongling Urgent Envoy is different, which is to prevent the Hongling Urgent Envoy from being intercepted on the road and causing the letter to be seized. ”

The military does this when it transmits military information. Meng Tian himself also had a lot of true and false letters when he delivered the news, and then used the "Yin Fu Sutra" mode as the "password", so after Li Liang explained, he nodded subconsciously.

"Yin Fu Jing" is also called "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Jing" or "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Jing". The Chinese army has always used it as a code book, so the transmission of military information is often a letter opened in many copies, and at the same time, some secret numbers are left in the military information letter.

What Meng Tian didn't know was the "code" of the Han army to transmit military intelligence and many military ...... Including Qin Jun is different, there is Lu Zhe who is too backward in using the "Yin Fu Sutra" as a means of password. However, the lieutenant is not obliged to explain to Meng Tian and Zhang Han, right?

The Han army has conquered Linzi and controlled the land of Qilu and Yan? Hearing such news, Meng Tian was extremely shocked in his heart.

"Han Army...... It was only half a year to go north. Zhang Han was also dumbfounded: "There are no less than 100 cities along the way, and Linzi City is a big city, a strong city ......", he finally came back to his senses when he said this, and knew that it was very inappropriate to use a questioning tone.

"The Qi army, the general has no heart to fight, the morale of the soldiers is low, and there are even clans that take the lead in surrendering," the communist lieutenant "hehe" laughed a few times: "Zang Di of Yan State was the first to surrender, and after Han Guang was killed, Zang Di sacrificed his soil ......"

It's a bit too smooth, but it's not too incredible, it's mainly the internal problems of Qi and Yan, and it's more that the governance of the Han State in Xue County and other places is too good, with those examples of Xue County and so on, under the rule of the Han State, Qianshou can live a good life, Qianshou is passive and confrontational, and Qi Yan's ruling class wants to play with their lives and there are not many people to accompany them.

The best part? It's that Lu Zhe has never meant to kill anyone, as long as the crimes he commits are too exaggerated, the worst outcome after returning to the Han State is to be a duke, and he doesn't force anyone to a dead end, and many people are not willing to fight hard.

Li Liang's words made Meng Tian a little embarrassed, the Han State rose strongly, Lu Zhe is also a wise king, and having a future is naturally to attract people to take refuge, isn't the Qin State also a large group of people who have joined the past? In the end, it seems ...... After he made Fusu's decision not to make senseless resistance and merge with the Han State to become a great empire, he also acquiesced to this result with a little persuasion.

It's not that anyone has no discipline, first of all, people are all good luck and avoid evil, and Lu Zhe is really too generous, such as retaining King Qin and King Zhao is one of them, and directly dismantled the mental defense line of Fusu and Zhao Xie, and the rulers all accepted that kind of result, so that the people below couldn't find a reason to convince themselves if they wanted to do their best.

The lieutenant didn't come to talk about that, he motioned for Li Liang to be quiet, and then said to Meng Tian: "A month ago, the First Cavalry Regiment of our army and the men and horses led by Wang Ben and Sima Ang had already marched to the south of Yinshan, and the distance should be ...... now" walked to the shelf with the whole map of the northern border, and pointed to the area of Yanmen County: "It should have arrived near Mayi (modern Shuo County)." ”

A month ago? Meng Tian recalled, probably four months ago the southward Qi, Yan, and Zhao coalition armies were on the front line of Dang, and the Zhao army was the first to evacuate, and then the remaining Qi and Yan seemed to have made signs of moving eastward, and were blocked by the Han army led by Ji Bu on the first line of the single father (modern Shanxian County), that battle Xu Yan sent troops to participate in the battle, the Han army, the Qin army, and the Zhao army first surrounded and annihilated the Yan army, and then surrounded the Qi army led by Tian Rong, and the whole army surrendered after the Tian Rong corps ran out of grain.

Calculating the time, the First Cavalry Corps of the Han Army should have gone north after the destruction of the Tian Rong Corps, and it would be absolutely enough to cross Zhao Land and reach Yanmen in three months. During the period when Zhao General Sima Ang led his troops to rendezvous, the First Cavalry Corps of the Han Army and Wang Ben's troops could also rest and recuperate for half a month?

"Ma Yi ......" Meng Tian was also looking at the panorama of the northern realm, and he touched his chin: "This way is ...... Cavalry-based? The cavalry he said was the kind of cavalry of the Han army, not a single horse.

"Our army of 50,000 and Wang Ben's 30,000 are, and the remaining 40,000 Wang Ben's and Sima Ang's 50,000 are infantry troops." The lieutenant smiled: "The 80,000 cavalry of the vanguard can go straight to the Yunzhong Plain in three days, and the remaining 90,000 regular soldiers (soldiers) will follow up with more than 200,000 auxiliaries and civilians." ”

"In the clouds?" Meng Tian's eyes moved to the Hetao, and he paid special attention to the south of Yinshan: "Then the ultimate goal is not the Saiwai grassland, but the south of Yinshan, to cut off the return route of the Hu people?" ”

"Exactly!" The lieutenant also said: "Ji Zhonglang (general) all the way, the total strength of 170,000 will walk the first line of Zhaodi, their current position is in Taiyuan County, if it is slow, it should be around Jinyang, and if it is fast, it has reached Fenshui." ”

Meng Tian's gaze turned to the Fenshui line, which was about two hundred miles away from Dingyang, considering that Ji Bu was an infantry army all the way, if he wanted to maintain enough body to participate in the battle at any time, it would take six days at most to appear on the rear of the enemy army north of Dingyang.

"Qi Yan is no longer there, so the hundred thousand Qi army and Yan army opposite us?" Zhang Han's eyes were very bright, and he stared at the lieutenant so directly.

"If there is no mistake, before we received the letter from the king, someone had already entered the Qi Yan camp opposite," the smile on the face of the communist lieutenant was very strong: "If Tian Jiao is smart, he will accept my king's kindness, if Tian Jiao does not accept ......"

After the Han army solved the Qi State and the Yan State, only one legion needed to be left on guard, and the second-line troops marched into the land of Qilu and Yan to maintain law and order, and the rest of the legions could march to the western front.

Meng Tian's face was extremely complicated and asked, "So...... King Han meant to make us retreat backwards and lure the Hu people deeper, didn't you? ”

Gongwei nodded: "That's exactly what the king meant. He had been observing Meng Tian's eyes when he said these words, and he could clearly see that Meng Tian's pupils contracted rapidly in an instant. (To be continued......)
